Steve 426 Posted February 10, 2023 Am I right in thinking Joss would celebrate his birthday on the 1st March on the years when it isn't a leap year? I believe this is the normal convention for those born on 29th February. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He played the villain in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and one of the Lethal Weapon films. He is the voice of the Black Rabbit in the 1979 Warership Down animated film and he played C.S.Lewis in a BBC adaptation of Shadowlands which is far superior to the Anthony Hopkins film version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Daredevil 1,097 Posted March 2, 2023 He was also in The Hunt For Red October and Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? In fact, Ackland is the only one still alive, of the few who I created a thread on at the conclusion of 2020 as Yaphet Kotto, André Maranne and Robert Fyfe all died in 2021. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 17,771 Posted March 2, 2023 Pet Shop Boys video and the bad guy from Lethal Weapon 2 immediately come to mind here. The diplomatic immunity guy (which is genuinely the only thing I remember from the Lethal Weapon films!). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sly Ronnie 619 Posted March 2, 2023 That Pet Shop Boys video is compliled from a film they made in 1988 called 'It Couldn't Happen Here' which I couldn't make head nor tail of. Much better was Ackland in an episode of Tales of the Unexpected called 'The Stinker', with Denholm Elliott of which the moral of the story is not to judge people based on childhood neuroses. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is him in "The Stinker" which was broadcast in 1980. I think it's Clive Dunnesque that he's lived another 43 years. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
